No vacancy in Enugu, Bishop Chukwuma tells Acting President Osinbajo

The Archbishop of Enugu Ecclesiastical Province
(Anglican Communion), Dr. Emmanuel Chukwuma, on Saturday told the Acting
President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, that there is no vacancy in
Enugu State Government House.

The outspoken Archbishop said the people of Enugu
State are at home and happy with the good works and progressive leadership
style of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who he described as “a non-discriminating”
politician.

Speaking during the 30th National Biennial Conference
of the Student Christian Movement (SCM) of Nigeria held in Enugu, which had in
attendance the Acting President and Gov. Ugwuanyi, among other dignitaries,
Archbishop Chukwuma appreciated the governor “for his support and concern for
the people of Enugu State, especially these children”. He said: “Mr. Acting
President, Enugu State is in the hands of God. Ugwuanyi is not a governor that
discriminates against anybody and so no vacancy in Enugu Government House, because
Enugu State is in the hands of God”. The Archbishop disclosed that Gov.
Ugwuanyi’s cordial relationship with leaders of other political parties was
because he always “gives respect to whom respect is due”, stressing that “Enugu
Governor respects elders”. Dr. Chukwuma, who expressed gratitude to God for the
successful hosting of the conference in Enugu, with the theme: “A Highway of
Holiness”, equally applauded Prof. Osinbajo for his presence to address the
youths on morality and values despite his tight schedule. He stated that the
Acting President’s presence at the event was because of his passion and love
for the Student Christian Movement (SCM), an organization, which he said was
established for the spiritual development of the youth aimed at securing their
future as better citizens.

The Acting
President, in his speech, enjoined Nigerian youths to rise up to the challenges
of leadership, describing them as “the most vibrant” segment of the population.
He declared that the youth should consider themselves as the leaders of today,
not of the future as generally assumed, pointing out that “60 percent of our
population is made up of young people” Earlier in his address, the National
President of the Association, Rev. Eric Ighalo, who thanked Acting President
Osinbajo, Gov. Ugwuanyi and Archbishop Chukwuma, for their support and active
participation in the event, noted that it was a historic outing “for the
Nigerian Youth and for Nigerian Christian students in particular”. Highlighting
the achievements and contributions of the association to national development
and attitudinal change among students, the National President, commended Gov.
Ugwuanyi for “his transformation of Enugu State”, describing him as “the most
humane” governor. Gov. Ugwuanyi, while welcoming the Acting President and other
dignitaries to the state, thanked the National Executive of the SCMN for the
honour in holding “this historic conference in Enugu”. The governor added that
“it goes to underscore the fact that Enugu State is indeed in the hands of God”
